Have you ever heard of a Landlord being sued by a Tenant and losing property?

You may make a quick return in a hot market, but the moment that market turns south (which it inevitably will) you will be scrambling to not lose everything you just gained;  2.

You will probably lose a month of rent if you choose a Section 8 tenant ready to move in now versus a traditional tenant ready to move in now.

If your startup costs are over $55,000, you lose the immediate deduction, and the entire amount would have to be amortized over 180 months (15 years).Here’s an example to clarify:•If you spend $7,000 on startup costs (such as attending BPCon, legal fees, and market research), you can deduct $5,000 in the first year and amortize the remaining $2,000 over 15 years, starting when your business is officially active.

I was about to lose it until I read @James Carlson's response.

They can quickly do some mental math to see if they are comfortable "losing" 15% of their usual revenue.

@Chris Villegas After losing out on many tenants due to showing a unit that was occupied or under renovation I never advertise any more until the unit is empty and ready to go.
